Thought it would be neat to see some pics with a bunch o non sfi cars. Hears my 83 with 67,000 original miles my first car and my daily driver.

I just had this picture scanned. It's from the Midwest Buick Challenge in Osceola, IN.

That’s not that bad off a track ive gone with my cousin up a couple of times with his 89 trans am gtgay with a 350 tune port his best was 14.3 i believe who’s been talking smack since i got my 87 hopefully i can get it going by the time they open up and shut him up. That very nice buy the way.

Sweeeeet.

I just read a new car article on the '83 - pretty cool. I post it when I get a chance.

You've got that car running well - 14.21 is very respectable.

How do I post a picture (jpeg) that is 125K big ? the limit I believe is 109K.

Rich did you install that turbo yet ?

Yep, I had it on since for all of 2007. It helped with less knock. I'm running 20 psi with less alcohol. I picked up on the top end, but I haven't been able to build as much boost off the line. My 60' dropped by about 2 tenths.

I did have a run this year at 14.27 and 95 mph (the the rain came). If I can get the 60' back down, I'd hit the 13's. That will be the goal for this year. I don't plan on any more changes to the '83 T Type. I will be focusing on getting the '82 GN ready. Now that I have a diesel truck, I plan to get a trailer and the make the GN a dedicated race car.

(Sorry, I don't know about the picture)

Hey scott, by some weird chance has you car ever been in a magazine? I remember a few years back I saw a pic nearly identical to the last one posted. Think it was in hotrod. Beautiful car by the way. I still hang on to the memory of my 79 SC limited that was 2 toned like yours. I found some pics of it but they are kinda crappy. Might take them over to my friends house and scan them and see how they turn out. I would love to share them.

I went from a 2500 to a 3000 soon after I put your turbo on. Still a little lazy building boost, but I haven't tried pushing it hard yet. Last year I was trying to be consistent, so I left with just 5 psi everytime.


It worked (the consistency part):

I'm in the middle


This year I'm just putting in new plugs & wires and seeing what I can do.

Congrat's !!!!!! , I use to be able to build 15# against the brakes (When they where set tight) with that turbo , it was stalling around 3200. Plus I had ported heads and a 206 cam and the 2.5" down-pipe.

Here are my three:

This was a project that was for last two years really neglected. Started with one brother - rebuilt front end, and engine -, then taken over by me - used as a toy - and now my other brother - back to stocks. He started rewiring all or at least most of the old chewed up wires in engine the compartment and interior. We have completed most of the interior - upper door panels are blue but rest is original color. The car needs alot of work - paint, interior, etc - and eventually re-rebuild the engine, but with it being a family project it is becoming a fun build. A very slow one but a fun one.
